There now exists a central authority in Vietnam. This central authority – called Department of Adoption (DA) – receives all the applications of the adoptive families who wish to adopt from this country. This department is part of the Ministry of Justice.
As of January 2011, the central authority will also be responsible for matching the children to prospective adoptive parents.
